The rst std box does 36,4 km/h at 1000 rpm.

So if the standard rev limiter is 6250 the max speed will be 141,3 mph
at 7000 rpm 158,3

Well I know at 6k is 148mph

www.gearboxman.com

that has a calculator on it, if you know the gear ratios.

Madmac: 148 at 6k sounds like speedometer mph and not "real" mph

Oranocos RST hits the limiter in 5th at about 6k and was timed for the Performance Ford feature at 148mph
